Quince Brandy

Golden tone, aromatic quince notes

Quince is the most demanding distillate there is — large-fruited, slow to dissolve, full of pectin that can easily send fermentation in the wrong direction. That is why each bottle of this brandy represents a victory over the raw material. You get a golden-amber liquid fragrant like a grandmother's quince jam — but sharper, drier, with a finish that lasts for minutes.

Only ripe quinces, in a narrow harvest window, yield that specific ethereal-aromatic note that cannot be imitated. XiRo quince brandy is made without haste: slower fermentation at lower temperature preserves the aromatic profile, and distillation stops before raw alcohol takes over. Serve chilled at 14–16°C as an aperitif, or alongside roasted game.
